Result description
This publication presents a six-stage workflow that extends traditional instructional design with activities that integrate the FAIR principles into learning materials. Each stage aligns learning models, materials, and methods with FAIR requirements, offering a practical and efficient approach for instructors to enhance their instructional design skills with FAIR-related competencies.
The methodology also incorporates quality assurance checkpoints and structured feedback mechanisms, fostering a collaborative co-creation process among educators and stakeholders to ensure high-quality, FAIR-aligned learning materials.
Problem addressed
The FAIR-by-Design Methodology addresses key challenges in the accessibility and reusability of learning materials by embedding FAIR principles into the instructional design process. It tackles issues such as intellectual property, licensing, and attribution, ensuring clarity in ownership and usage rights. The methodology also enhances discoverability and interoperability through structured metadata, controlled vocabularies, and persistent identifiers, while promoting the use of standardized file formats to maximize the reusability of educational resources within the community.
